It’s Photo Of The Day o’clock and we are looking straight into the barrel of a Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) gunner assigned to 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, as he pulls security. The vehicle behind is the M1126 Stryker Combat Vehicle. The image is from January 13, 2023, at the Twin Bridges Training Area in South Korea during Korea Rotational Force 12.

The Stryker is a family of armored fighting vehicles with eight wheels that are based on the Canadian LAV III. Stryker vehicles are made for the US Army in a plant in London, Ontario, by General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada. It can go from four-wheel drive (8×4) to all-wheel drive (8×8), and I think I need one.
